Although Japanese culture does allow for a concept that we translate as “genius”, the Japanese have an unfortunate tendency to equate knowledgability or studiousness with intelligence.

[Newholder]

The gyaru-looking girl is strangely smart

 

[Pyoro]

Mh, dunno. It's basically just a chapter insulting the heroine. Feels unkind, frankly.

 

[Kynnath]

@Oeconomist I don't think it's unfortunate. Everyone can be studious if they learn some discipline, but being talented is up to chance. So why would you praise the talent you get at birth and not the discipline you learn with effort? And being studious is more often better than being talented, since you can apply studiousness to areas you're not talented in, while talented people tend to feel frustrated when they do things outside of their talent.

@Kynnath—

Confusing distinct things each with another is always unfortunate. No one said that knowledgeability or studiousness were not praiseworthy; but so are, for example, honesty and courage, which are also not intelligence.

I really like this chapter because I like seeing the interactions between Gunjou and her friend and seeing stuff outside of the magical girl business. I do wonder if Gunjou will ever meet pink outside of magical girl stuff, by like accident. Be pretty funny.

Thanks for translating the chapter.

She has a crisis of self-identification on a level of your average office slave. Tell her she fits her job to deal her critical damage.

 

[lovolo]

These are pretty cute

 

[reisu89]

Maybe she has to repeat the year and will land in the same class as pink

 

[thanghe]

With how funny she is, I think yellow would suit her better?
Thank for the chapter

@Oeconomist
how about 'gifted'?

 

[Oeconomist]

@neorasp—

I'm not sure what you're asking.

I'd agree that someone who were studious or knowledgable were not shown ipso facto to be gifted, whereas for the most part intelligence is indeed a gift.

But, even were intelligence something mostly achievable or otherwise acquirable — one could imagine, for example, a medical procedure as in Flowers for Algernon, or praying 10101 times at some shrine — intelligence would still be distinct from being studious (motivated to acquire knowledge systematically) or knowledgeable (possessing a relatively large amount of knowledge).

The term “gifted” is even broader in qualitative application than the Japanese term translated as “genius”, in that one can be said to be gifted with physical beauty.
